HAIR IQ'ET.

Application filed August 15, 1922.

./'0 all LO/LOH) may concern Be it known that I, Jnssn Orrnrii-Inisr, acitizen of the United t atates, residing at New York, borough ofManhattan, in. the county of New York and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair Nets, of which the:t'ollowine, is a specification.

This invention. relates to the construction of hair nets, such as arecommonly worn by ladies in the dressing and holding of their hair.

l rom the nature of the article it is 'difli cult under ordinarypractice to produce a hair net of suiiicient strength to withstand themanipulation and wear incident thereto without rendering it undesirablyvisible or conspicuous.

Among the objects of this invention therefore is to provide a hair netof maximum or unusual strength and one which accordingly will faroutlast the nets heretofore made and yet is so designed that the,Inarginal or rim portion thereof, the part that is most likely to beobserved when worn, is practically or almost invisible. in the practiceof this invention it is observed that a'net may be made of the samecharacter of thread or strand throughout, and yet one portion thereofwill be vastly stronger than another, where greatest strength is needed,and another portion, where less strength is needed, may be of lighterand more inconspicuous nature or weave.

With the foregoing and other objects in viewthe invention consists inthe arrange ment and combination of partshereinafter described andclaimed, and while the invention is not restricted to the exact detailsof construction disclosed or suggested herein, still for the purpose ofillustrating a practical embodiment thereof reference is had to theaccompanying drawings, in which like reference characters designate thesame parts in the several views, and in which- Figure l is adlagram1nd1cat1ng the manner of use of the net and suggesting dltler- EierialNo. 582,017.

ent strengths or weights for different parts thereof.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of a fragment oi a net in plan,indicating more particularly the ditl'erent strengths or weights of thecrown and marginal. portions.

Referringnow more particularly to the drawings 1 indicate a hail" netillustrated to embody two portions -a crown portion A and a marginalportion B. While I indieats a cap or bag shaped net it will of course beunderstood that l will not be limited unnecessarily to any particularshape or design of the construction.

Neither do I propose to be unnecessarily limited to any particularcharacter, quality, color, or composition of the thread, hair, or strandused in the construction of the net, for obviously any oil the wellknown or com.- monly used materials may be employed for this purpose.For the present consideration, however, it may be assumed that theentire net, at least the mesh portion thereof, may be made of the samekind or character of strand throughout, that is to say of the sameweight, quality, and color, the predominating! feature being theconstruction of a net of several distinct parts, one of which isstronger than the other, while said other part is less visible orconspicuous than the stronger part.

i To carry into eli'ect the foregoing principles l weave or form net theportion A of which is woven or otherwise formed with two or more strandsa running parallel to each other and thereby multiplying the strength ofthis portion of the mesh accordinprly.

The other portion, the rim or marginal. portion B, of any suitable widthin relation to the crown, is of lighter weight and is less conspicuouswhen worn than the portion A, even though it may be woven or otherwiseformed from the same character of thread or strand as is used in thecrown portion. 1 indicate this as being woven from a single strand Z).The meshes of the respective parts of the net may be practically thesame tilt) tilt portions, the crown portion of the net havinga greaternumber of strands than the marginal portion.

2. A hair net whose crown portion is of multiple strand and whosemarginal portion is of single strand mesh.

In testi1non whereof I afiix my signature. 15
